As the National Sterilization Program hours have been reverted back to regular schedule (8pm to 6am) until further notice, the UAE authorities have also announced a revised list of fines for violators of safety measures.
Some of the penalties have been increased to enforce stricter measures for residents to continue staying at home while the disinfection program is ongoing. This is also to help prevent the increase of cases of the virus which has exceeded 20,000 cases so far.
Below is the full list of Fines and Penalties so to all UAE residents, please be guided accordingly and follow instructions as this is all for our safety:
More than the Fines, Follow Precautionary Guidelines to Avoid the Spread of the Virus
Please be guided accordingly to the fines listed above as this is for our own protection and safety as well as the safety of others around us.
Below is the Twitter post from Abu Dhabi Media Office:

These guidelines are meant to help prevent the spread of the virus so we urge everyone to follow strict precautionary procedures and follow the authorities. While the number of cases have been increasing, we still have to do our own part in order to stay safe.
So the new timings have been updated and everyone, again, is expected to stay home. To not go out except for essentials and to keep abreast with the latest information and updates that are being announced by the government. Stay home and stay safe everyone!
